That quote is from LtCol Jeff Kelley, who plays the TPC at Mosul every Friday. It looks a little rougher than the course in Kuwait. I was in Kuwait last spring, and really wanted to play, but never got the chance to get out there.
In the story on TPC at Mosul, there is an address to send donations. I can tell you from experience, nothing would give these guys more pleasure than to be able to take a break from what they do to spend a little time in “the real world.” A dozen balls, some cast-off irons, or that persimmon driver you keep promising yourself you’ll use again would be a welcome addition to their club.
